From what we’ve seen so far from Mouretsu Pirates, this episode has to be the most underwhelming in terms of actual story. However, you’ll need to let this episode grow in you for you to absorb the nice things it has to offer. Though, I kind of wonder why they kept on exploring the friendships [...]

Mouretsu Pirates 18 – We’ll Have Drinks at the After Party
07/05/2012 – 12:58
If there’s one thing Mouretsu Pirates never fails to do, it would be entertaining with deep stories, premises, and interactions. We witness unfolding of a conspiracy and corruption between different organisations, individuals, and political factions within the galactic empire. We also get more yuri relationships and teasing. Man, when would they give us scenes with [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 16 & 17

As of the this writing, I am compiling my thoughts on these two episodes while listening to the part 1 of the soundtrack. For this episode blog, I would be temporarily using my ‘new’ format and method. Narrating two episodes would be a pain and would not be an easy thing to do. These two [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 15 – Smuggling, Leaving Port, and a Leap
16/04/2012 – 16:30
Just like what I expected from episode fourteen, the fifteenth episode is filled with wacky scenes and hilarious events. What appears to authorities as a practice course ended-up as a Pirating Practice for the rest of the yacht club members. Subjectively, I can say this episode is a mixed bag; it’s light-hearted and immersive story [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 14 – Marika Goes Recruiting
08/04/2012 – 17:25
Wow! That was another fun episode, however Chiaki Mouretsu Hanazawa Pirates really needs to up its antics more especially with the deluge of Spring 2012 anime although it still has some powerful cards on its hands. One of them would be the character interactions. The director decided to forgo the romance in favour of an [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 13 – Marika Sends an Invitation
02/04/2012 – 15:00
Unless you’re slow to pick-up pranks, you’d still know that I would not drop Mouretsu Pirates and it’s wonderful story-telling. Recently that I discovered that the director is cutting all romance tones in the script in favour of friendship. If the things building-up are signs, then this has to be an excellent yuri-genre anime when [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 10, 11, & 12
26/03/2012 – 16:04
As I’m writing this, I’m listening to Mouretsu Pirates‘ original soundtrack. It’s one of the strongest points, equalled only by the voice acting and partially equalled by the quality of the writing… Thank goodness that I got exempted from taking the final examinations of the subjects I was taking during the last semester, or else [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 08 & 09

Can’t balance student and career lives? Check. Certain affinity for Chiaki-chan? Check. Leader of an organisation? Check. Living with the mother? Check. Have pronounced potentials for the career? Check. Good sense of strategy? Check. The more I watch Mouretsu Pirates, the more I see things that Marika and I have in common as recent tough-arse [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 06 & 07

Sorry for the delay people! I had a stiff week last week, including one tough-arse examinations. Much, much worse was the delay in the release of the sixth episode by my favoured translation groups, however they were able to release it a couple of days later. Sixth and seventh episodes still delivers the same space [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 05 – Marika Makes a Decision
06/02/2012 – 13:35
If my impression of the fourth episode was a bit bland and bored, then my thoughts on this episode is otherwise. Mouretsu Pirates is back again on it’s feet and bounces back. Despite all of these, it’s Achilles’ heel is still obvious — the quality of animation, or lack thereof. I would not expound on [...]
